The scientists are also worried about how the flavoured vaping liquid attracted younger people to the habit.

The researchers hope their findings will lead to new regulations to prevent access, sales and marketing of e-cigarettes to young people.

Dr Jessica Fetterman of Boston University in Massachusetts said: “Increased inflammation and a loss of nitric oxide are some of the first changes to occur leading up to cardiovascular disease and events like heart attacks and stroke, so they are considered early predictors of heart disease.

In healthy lungs, the beating cilia perform the vital function of clearing away mucus and dirt, along with bacteria and viruses.

Lead scientist Dr Phillip Clapp, from the University of North Carolina, said: "Our data suggest that when used in e-cigarettes cinnamaldehyde, like toxic aldehydes in cigarette smoke, significantly disrupts normal cell physiology in ways that may have implications for the development and exacerbation of respiratory disease.

"Our finding that cinnamaldehyde impairs normal airway cilia motility is significant because it demonstrates that a common, food-safe flavouring agent, in the context of e-cigarette use, is capable of dysregulating a critical anti-bacterial defence system in the lungs."
